Apparently one of the pilots is ready to fold up and leave the area - these guys don't have the cash to defend
themselves; rough estimates of $25,000 just to begin to fight.

They argue that their property rights extend up into infinity and that the
pilots are trespassing. The lawsuit is purely harassment in an attempt to
intimidate pilots. I would be surprised if any court is even willing to hear
the case.
